In probability theory and statistics, a probability distribution describes how probabilities are assigned to the possible results of a random phenomenon, more precisely to events, which are sets of possible outcomes of a probabilistic experiment. The cited article says informally a probability distribution tells us how likely different results are, that formally it is a probability measure, a function that assigns probabilities to events in a way that satisfies the axioms of probability, and that probability distributions are closely linked to random variables. Objects recorded in the atlas as probability distributions are grouped under this concept.

Entity-backed identity for the object-kind enum value this mathematical object already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The object-kind fact itself stays on the object unchanged.
